You know, sometimes you come across an old advertisement that you can’t believe is real. Yet here it is from the Journal of Education, July 4th 1895. It reads:
A Tonic for Brain-Workers, the Weak and Debilitated.
Horsford’s Acid Phosphate is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous Exhaustion; and where the system has become debilitated by disease, it acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body.
Dr. E. Cornell Esten, Philadelphia PA, says: “I have met with the greatest and most satisfactory results in dyspepsia and general derangement of the cerebral and nervous systems, causing debility and exhaustion.
